Wish I could spare more time for comments but I'll have to keep this quite short. In summary, very good week, which means point distribution will be an uphill task.
(2 points) Treasure Hunter G Original Soundtrack - Emperor of Balladry I really like tracks in the vein of "Emperor of Balladry". For one, the synth is a big draw for me. And it helps that the track develops very nicely. Then there's the sudden decrescendo that always gets me. (2 points) Kagero ~ Deception 2 Original Soundtrack - The World is falling into Ruin For some reason, this track catches my fancy. It's not really as apocalyptic as the title suggests. It's more wistful and reflective, the type of music you'd expect to hear when game heroes stare off into the horizon thinking of the good old days. And maybe that's why I like it so much. (1 point) Street Fighter EX - Strange sunset There are a lot of very interesting elements in this piece that I enjoyed a great deal. But overall, the track's somewhat lessened by a few bits that didn't sit too well with me. Pity. (1 point) Bionic Commando (NES Game Rip) - Area 5 Catchy's the word here. Would have been more satisfying if the track was developed a bit more before the loop. Will be highly anticipating the Tyrian nomination.  I'm not too familiar with the doujin scene but I'd think that if the doujin arrangers in question have composed for actual games before then perhaps their VGM-related work could be allowed. Jam it back in, in the dark.
I think therefore I am... I think.

Just a thought: why not have a strictly doujin/remix week on SotW once in a while if there are enough nominations (so a separate doujin nomination queue could be set up)? Of course, the doujin tracks would be excluded from the normal SotW. Since such doujin weeks would be few and far between, it could help, to an extent, promote doujin without detracting too much from the main SotW event. Or keep it simple and set up a separate Doujin of the Week event as suggested.
Djinova, based on your definition of doujin, if I were to rearrange a piece of music from an official game soundtrack, would my track be considered... doujin? There's nowhere I can't reach.
I think therefore I am... I think.
